HISTORY OF BJJ

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (or BJJ for short) is a martial art and combat sport from Brazil. It focuses on grappling and ground fighting. Originally derived from Japanese Judo in the early 20th century, it promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger assailant using leverage and proper technique.

Jiu Jitsu is most often seen in the mainstream in MMA bouts. It can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no gi alike) as well, or even for self defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.
